That holds a golden-winged Canary,—
A bird with no companion of his kind.
But when the warm south-wind
Blows, from rathe meadows, over
The honey-scented clover,
I hang him in the porch, that he may hear
The voices of the bobolink and thrush,
The robin’s joyous gush,
The bluebird’s warble, and the tunes of all
Glad matin songsters in the fields anear.
